202: Moral Corruption and the Disaster of the Physical World
Description
This talk explores how the Buddha linked moral corruption to the imbalance of the natural world. As human greed, anger, and ignorance grow, they don’t just harm society—they ripple outward, affecting the very elements of the planet. The Buddha taught that when morality declines, even the orbits of the earth, moon, and sun shift, leading to climate extremes, disasters, and instability across the world.
Through modern examples of political corruption, environmental destruction, and global conflict, we trace how cause and effect flows from individual actions to global consequences. When leaders and nations act with selfishness, the tone spreads downward—through governments, industries, and ordinary people—fueling exploitation and chaos.
This talk reminds us that the root cause of the world’s crises lies not in technology or carbon emissions alone, but in the moral decay of the human heart. By restoring virtue, compassion, and awareness, we can begin to heal both our inner world and the planet we share.
